Kim Kardashian Perfume

It’s no secret (though it is a komplete surprise) that the Kardashian Konglomerate is a big-moneymaking business. Led by Pimp Momager, Kris Jenner Kardashian, the family has raked in millions starting with a little thing like an accidentally leaked sex tape. Well, I have more bad news…

After earning a reported $65 million in 2010, it seems the Sisters Kardashian are slated to make… wait for it: $200-$300 MILLION dollars in the the next year alone from their Kardashian Kollection for Sears. But it gets better as they are predicted to be closing in on a Billion-Dollar empire in the next 2 years!

Brian Dow, a partner at APA Talent and Literaly Agency who reps the brands komprised of the Kardashian Kingdom, tells Women’s Wear Daily: “The Kardashians could easily be a billion-dollar business worldwide in the next two years.”

Especially since they are planning to take their Sears Kollection global with markets in the U.K., Italy, and Australia. I feel so bad for those other countries. Or should I say kountries? Wow – that’s an incredible payout for such cheap and tacky clothes!

In addition to dressing like the sisters, people apparently want to smell like the Kardashians too, as their fragrance lines are huge money-makers!

“Kardashian is the type of brand that can afford to be everywhere — we’re not concerned about overexposure,” says Philip Zellner, CEO of Lighthouse Brands, the company that produces the Kardashian fragrances.

“Everyone who watches and reads about them feels like they know them, that they’re part of their family. There is an aspirational aspect that the consumer looks up to, as well as the day-to-day drama,” Mr. Zellner believes.

Because according to Mr. Zellner, the four fragrance lines kreated by the Kardashians – three (and a fourth on the way!) from Kim and one unisex fragrance from Khloe and husband Lamar Odom – are expected to generate $50M! Who is buying this stuff?! I am seriously perplexed!

So, just to break it down in the next couple years these ladies could be raking in close to a billion dollars! Kue the lawsuits that will likely be rolling in… especially considering they are already being accused of kopy-katting.

Did you feel nauseous after learning about the prospective income the Kardashians may earn pedaling their wares? Have you ever a purchased a K product? Would you?

Has Kim Kardashian become too famous for the reality show that helped make her famous? That might be the case according to a new report.

RadarOnline is reporting that Kim could very well be leaving her hit reality show – Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The reason? Well apparently negotiations have began for the 5th season of the E! show and Kim is asking for a lot of money, more money than the E! network can afford.

And why is Kim asking for more money? Well she has noticeably become extremely popular, and apparently has many lucrative opportunities lined up to the point that it simply doesn’t pay to stay on the show.

“Kim’s advisors feel that it’s time to explore bigger deals on bigger networks,” a television insider tells Radar. “She’s right to feel like she doesn’t need to open up her personal life to make a living on TV. It looks like Kim can make a lot more money than the TV show can pay her, especially through her endorsement deals and doing appearances on bigger network shows.”

According to the source, Kim made more money from her Carl’s Jr commercial than she did from an entire season of KUWTK.

Kim is demanding an estimated $300,000 per episode which leaves the E! network in a tight spot as they cannot afford that even though the finale episode of KUWTK was the highest rated show in the history of the network.

The source says E! might decide to continue filming the show with just Kris Jenner, husband Bruce, and younger kids Rob, Kendall and Kylie, or they might just shut down the show all together and focus on Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, which was also a big hit for the network.

As of now, the ball seems to be in E!’s court, but Kim might want to reconsider leaving the show, once upon a time Paris Hilton was very popular as well, but not so much these days. It’s likely that Kim needs the reality show to keep her popularity going strong.
